Quoted because this should really be the end of discussion when it comes to this train of thought. This is factual. Shimbori is the law when it comes to this franchise just as Harada is with his. If Shimbori refers to them as guest characters in interviews, that's 100% factually what they are.
He also, said Leon was basically considered a guest character. So that means Leon is a guest character now, even though he’s from the same series.
You know what they say about Momiji and Zafina fans, class...
Hey! Don’t put me in the same boat as them! I love Momiji, I did since the moment I played her but I’m not like them
I've said this before: Don't worry about other people requesting characters. You aren't going to change their mind and we are all happy for you that you got the one you were looking for. I've been requesting her for a very long time and I've seen far more than 4 people. You're being condescending.
AND with Momiji, she is in DOA5 as a fighter. Maybe that's where your confusion from. It's called good branding... and with DOA5 they had it. It's not like the assets are not on the table for them to dip into and there is no signing deal to worry about. Nintendo did it right with Smash Bros making everyone happy.
No it's not. The fighters and people that buy the game are the law, because if it doesn't do well there wont be another. It's not a threat, I'm not going to not buy the game because of it. More characters, more options = a better game.
I see people in interviews asking the question over and over, and tons of people are requesting her and here comes some person that thinks it's all alleged or a lie. lmao
I'm more triggered by people that don't want me to be happy with my favorite character more than Shimbor's stupid decision of not bringing them in when all DOA6 is anyway is a different take on DOA5 and a few animation twists would make them both eligible. I'm also talking about Leon and Ein.
I’m sorry but more characters don’t automatically mean a game is gonna be better. A game can have a huge roster and can still suck big hairy balls. A good game requires good marketing, good representation, good gameplay, a good plot and last but not least a good game requires a reason for people to play the game again. Honey, I truly understand your loss because Momiji was one of my mains and I love her to death. But... (there’s a big but here
) We need to accept that they’re not in, Shimbori had his reasons for them not making the cut, same with irrelevant character 1, 2 and Gen Fu. Momiji and Rachel will most definitely return, but they weren’t added to the base roster because they won’t play a role in the DOA plot, which is perfectly fine since they both have their duties in the NG universe. They will return so don’t worry
